Original artwork description
Psalmus Corporis
This angel is not a celestial being, but a metaphor for the human soul rising through suffering. His body is wrapped in barbed wire like a spiral of pain, yet his face is serene, illuminated. In this figure lies a tense paradox: freedom born within confinement, ascent through weight.
The material—air-drying clay—captures a moment of overcoming. The wire is not just an external threat, but a symbol of inner barriers: guilt, memory, pain. It is a path of transformation, as in Dante: not to escape hell, but to pass through it.
The work suggests that liberation is not the absence of suffering, but its transcendence. Light is not beyond pain, but found within it.
